What They Said
"The '90s were a bit of a disaster for me in so many ways. On a personal level, I don't think I could have toured. Also I had some physical problems with my back that are now sorted and I just wasn't in the right state of mind."
Deborah Voigt
"To assume that one can weigh 300-plus pounds and still be viable on today's opera stage is naive. I tell that to young singers."
George Takei
"May equality live long and prosper." Takei, who played Sulu on the original "Star Trek" TV series, and partner Brad Altman are planning a September wedding.
Steve Carell
"Anne was the first person to come in and do a screen test. It was actually the first time I'd said any of the lines. And after she walked out of the room, we all looked at each other and knew it. It was almost as if everyone else could have gone home at that point, frankly."
Ludacris
"Tommy Lee and myself were two people who didn't have that much knowledge of being eco-friendly at first."
Billy Ray Cyrus
"I wasn't there at the time. ... I didn't know they were gonna strip her down and wrap her with a blanket."
Puppeteer Caroll Spinney
"When I saw him lying in the dirt, it was like seeing your child dead on the floor. I went into shock."
Andre Braugher
"I think I'd be willing to do almost anything, I'd be willing to pursue any great role, but then again, I do want to put food on the table.''
John Waters
"I'm not here to talk about 'August: Osage County,' although I do have a warm spot for dysfunctional pill poppers."
